[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 226303, member: 3959"] Was frigging great temps here today! Only about 105 with a slight breeze. Put some time on the KX, not much, and had a couple other guys that are more familiar ride it. One kid that was killing it on his '16 450 loved it. But when the bike died or stalled, restarting was a bitch. I've always had problems starting it though.
